Any kind of part, including complex industrial components, can be 3D printed with advanced SSI, which is powered by the KISSlicer engine. SSI supports multi-material use, as well as support material extrusion processes, and the print style is set to automatically match the polymers currently being printed.
Additionally, 3ntr is also offering the SSU01 advanced support material system – even surfaces that come into direct contact with support material come out looking pristine, and supports are easily dissolved in ultrasound tubs with a solution based on water and caustic soda.
The KISSlicer interface is more than a little complex, so the SSI platform reduces the learning curve and makes it more accessible to users. SSI will automatically check your print settings for you, highlight any potential issues in red, and uses preset factory profiles, which recognize the compatibility of chosen polymers with the programmed print job. So even users without much experience can quickly and easily 3D print complex parts.
In 2014, the company introduced carbon fiber build trays with magnetic blocks, for easy removal of completed prints. These trays didn’t require any tricks, like hairspray, glue, or clips, to remove finished parts; now, 3ntr is making its build trays even easier with its new Diamond plates.
Once the plate is cool, it only takes a few seconds to remove even complex parts, or a series of parts, which is of vital importance when it comes to speeding up production process workflows – it’s not just about printing speed. In terms of material and part removal during production workflows, 3ntr’s easy to use Diamond plates make kapton, painter’s tape, PEI films, and other removal tricks and tools totally unnecessary.
Finally, 3ntr will be releasing its new ultra-hard tungsten carbide nozzle, named Bliss, at formnext this month. Industrial 3D printers that are used to produce strong end-use parts and components, like 3ntr’s 3D printers, can do so thanks to composite (charged) materials like the company’s PA66+Glass and NylonCarbon. Unfortunately, the downside is that these materials are highly abrasive, which means that they wear down standard 3D printer nozzles fast.
3ntr’s tough new Bliss nozzle will never break during installation, thanks to its monolithic build, and it also works up to 1.5 times faster than standard abrasion nozzles, at 92 W m/k.
When combining its new advanced SSI software, long-lasting and efficient Bliss nozzle, and Diamond plates for faster print loading and part removal, 3ntr can offer a full, integrated solution for industrial 3D printing. You can come check out the company’s new products at Booth #3.1-G75 at formnext, which begins in Messe Frankfurt on November 14th and runs through November 17th.
3DPrint.com will be reporting from the show floor throughout the busy week in Frankfurt, and we’re looking forward to seeing all the latest in industrial 3D printing first-hand.
